He Tried to Take His Life. Compassionate Care Brought Him Back

Samuel was brought to Bweyale unconscious, having ingested two bottles of anthill poison. The medic on duty sprang into action: activated charcoal, oxygen, and Atropine stabilized him. A nasogastric tube was used to drain his stomach.

After three days of intensive care, Samuel regained consciousness and was discharged. His survival is a testament to quick intervention and compassionate emergency care.
